When, when, when will the still-rational-left (if there are any remaining) see the overreach. I have been waiting for 4 years for someone over there to realize what is going on.
When not one member of the US Congress cares about the
Constitution, then it functionally does not even exist.
Barrys popularity will be going down soon. When the kids see their paychecks go down and bunches of them get layed off ratings will drop like a rock. If Barry goes too far impeachment can be started. An egomaniac would do lots of damage to his party strong arming his won party to defend against impeachment.
Good news: We have a chance!
Bad news: House Republicans have no guts.
If Obama borrows money without the permission of the people, then the people should feel no obligation to pay it back.
Last week I was telling folks, before the GOP caved on that vote::What’s the difference between a House GOP and the Anti-Christ?
the Anti Christ has “666” on forehead
the house GOP has “I caved”
It’s like Al-Jazerra buying Algores Current TV network: Net difference=Zero!

IF the big O thinks that he will consolidate power after suspending (got to laugh) the constitution, he will only invite the age of the strongman, regardless of the results.
We have to force The Kenyan to breech the Constitution. I think he would do it without much provocation, such as a short government shutdown. GOP Congressional leaders need to have war-gamed the whole scenario out. They need to look into appropriations bills for debt payments, military and essential services. GOP leadership also needs to have a chat with top military brass and remind them of their Constitutional oath. In the meantime, the GOP should put out their very best Constitutional experts and explain to the public that zero is assuming unconstitutional and dictatorial powers and that henceforth, any spending or legal actions by the executive have no basis in law, and citizens would be under no legal obligation to follow them.
It looks like we need to have a coup. If zero gets away with this one, why wouldn’t he just start outright arresting all political opponents, elected and non-elected.
The US Constitution is now a quaint old piece of parchment relegated to viewing through thick glass by elementary school kids on their way to the IMAX theater to receive their instructions from Dear Leader.
This ‘issue’ isn’t complex at all.
Simply remove the term “debt ceiling” from your mind.... The Congress needs to just ....NOT SPEND THE DAMN MONEY!
Balance the budget!
Just don’t send him any more spending bills. the House is as complicit as the Senate and the POTUS.
The operative words being AUTHORIZED BY LAW. The authorized debt is currently 16 trillion. I don't see how they get past that little caveat.
Suspend the Constitution? I thought Roberts did that with his Obamacare ruling.
He said he wasn’t going to debate the debt ceiling,wonder if he can bypas congress and the constitution ?.
“When in the course . . . “
Where is this ceiling every ones’s talking about?
Call me a skeptic, but I don’t believe it even exists.
Obama is a communist pos dictator like Chavez. Should be impeached.
We must secede.
plan needs to be, if barky ignores the debt ceiling, then the house needs to refuse to pass any appropriations at all this year, shutting the entire government down, stick to it and mean it. the government is funded one year at a time, so when funding runs out, that’s it.
